SubjectTraining trainers
DescriptionCoaching and mentoring can be defined as ‘learning relationships, which help people to take charge of their own development, to release their potential and to achieve results which they value’ (Connor and Pokora 2017). A mentor offers a balance of support and challenge, and may have several roles, including sounding board, critical friend, facilitator and role model Working with a mentor can help professional development, enhance working relationships, problem management abilities and job satisfaction. It can be helpful at all career stages. This practical, 6 online session programme focuses on developing mentoring skills suitable for use in a range of leadership and clinical situations. Aims include: • Defining mentoring and developing mentoring skills • Developing a working knowledge of a framework for mentoring: The Skilled Helper model (Egan, 2010) • Exploring practical and professional issues in mentoring at work
Additional information

Teaching methodology

A mixture of taught inputs, demonstration by tutors, small group skills practice, group discussions, and pairs work. Participants spend a significant proportion of time practising skills. They work in trios with a facilitator, learning from the three roles of mentor, mentee, and observer. Participants bring real issues to discuss in the mentee role: there is no ‘role playing’. Reflective practice is expected between (days 2 and 3). Change to ‘sessions’.

All participants will receive a course handbook Coaching and Mentoring at Work: Developing Effective Practice (McGraw Hill, 2017), written by Mary Connor and Julia Pokora, and a course workbook tailored to the programme.

Participants will be required to attend all 6 sessions of the course.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN INTERNAL COURSE AND NOT OPEN TO EXTERNAL DELEGATES.

Please be aware that attendance on all 6 dates is mandatory, please do not book if you are not available for all dates.
